- Interesting BiCMOS circuits in the Pentium, reverse-engineered (righto.com)
Intel released the powerful Pentium processor in 1993, establishing a long-running brand of processors. Earlier, I wrote about the ROM in the Pentium’s floating point unit that holds constants such as π. In this post, I’ll look at some interesting circuits associated with this ROM. In particular, the circuitry is implemented in BiCMOS, a process that combines bipolar transistors with standard CMOS logic.
- Washington State Capitol (Wikipedia)
The Washington State Capitol (or “Legislative Building”) in Olympia is the home of the government of the State of Washington. It contains the chambers of the Washington State Legislature, offices for the governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, and state treasurer. It is part of a larger administrative campus including buildings for the Washington Supreme Court, the Washington Governor’s Mansion, and many other state agencies.
